Package name

You can also get the package name (Android) or app id (iOS), by calling instead InstallReferrer.app

Widgets

If you want to receive the result directly in a Widget, you have two choices: InstallReferrerDetectorListener and InstallReferrerDetectorBuilder :

InstallReferrerDetectorBuilder(
  builder: (BuildContext context, InstallationApp? app) {
    if (app == null) {
      return const CircularProgressIndicator.adaptive();
    } else {
      return Text(
        'Package name:\n${app.packageName ?? 'Unknown'}\n'
        'Referrer:\n${referrerToReadableString(app.referrer)}',
          textAlign: TextAlign.center,
      );
    }
  },
);

InstallReferrerDetectorListener(
  child: YourWidget(),
    onReferrerAvailable: (InstallationApp? app) {
      // TODO
    },
);
